You don't expect to be writing about snow in a blog about the Caribbean. However, Thursday, I left San Fran for Indy, but got snowed into Chicago. As I had been wearing 2 hats, a ton of shirts, a coat, 2 pairs of socks, gloves, and all sorts of other clothes in the frigid 40-50 degree F San Fran weather to keep warm, I was surprised at how well I did in the Chicago snow. I think the difference was the long underwear. In Terre Haute, I also got some boots.

It was great to see so many old friends in Terre Haute and also to eat at Exotic Thai twice.

From a tourist perspective, I didn't do a whole lot there, but I can comment on the Days Inn- It's a reasonable hotel. The room was clean, but old. The service was good. It was nice to be able to pull the car right up to the door to unload all my junk. (I was on the first floor.) I think you'd get a cheaper rate calling to book than trying on the internet. That's about all I've got on it.
